Libre sensor is past the 12 hour mark but still giving some wonky readings when scanned but the app is doing a good job of realizing they're wrong because they don't appear on the graph. She did bleed a bit at insertion (just a couple drops of blood from the hole on top) so there's probably a bit more "insertion trauma" than with previous sensors and that may be affecting the readings. I've read that "bleeders are readers" as in they are more accurate than most sensors, we'll see if that's the case.

We're past the 24 hour mark since the sensor was applied and I still think it's not quite accurate when the numbers are lower than ~70. The AM +5 reading of 57 is most likely incorrect given that she was at 70 at +4 and she ate at +4 as well. She may have been laying on the sensor, I'm not sure.

Maybe the accuracy will improve over time. I know that human diabetics often apply their sensor 1-2 days before they plan on activating so it has time to "marinate" as they call it (they're really just waiting for the insertion trauma to resolve) but I don't think that would work very well with a cat lol.

Unless the sensor starts reading very weird numbers I'm going to give her a break on manual tests until AMPS. Her ears are a little bruised because of a few testing mishaps.
